The salon is a studio with a greenhouse-inspired look, where sunlight, plants and considered design give the room a calm feel. It welcomes clients of every hair texture, identity and style, and its stylists are trained to work with natural curly, straight, coily and other hair patterns.
Stylists here are independent chair-rental professionals. Each one sets their own schedule, pricing and booking process, and the salon has no central booking system, so clients book directly with the stylist they choose. Clients are encouraged to get in touch with questions before booking.
Color work ranges from soft highlights to balayage and favors low-tox, high-performance products with gentle application. Every color service begins with a consultation covering hair history, lifestyle and long-term goals. Grey can be covered or blended, and the team can plan a gradual move away from coloring grey. Corrective color takes more time, planning, product and testing, and often several appointments, so it costs more. Suggested maintenance runs from every four to six weeks for root coverage to every eight to twelve weeks for lived-in color.
Haircuts include bobs, layers, curly shaping and low-maintenance trims, planned around how hair behaves away from the salon, including air-drying and styling time. Appointments can add scalp care, treatment masks and styling education, and visits include aromatherapy touches and beverages. New clients are invited to a brief consultation before their first visit; first visits allow extra time for an in-depth consultation, a tailored service plan and guidance on at-home care.
The salon also operates Propagation Education, a hair color education company that runs classes, workshops and salon training. Its curriculum spans the principles of pigment, the chemical side of formulation, techniques for softening gray, repairing earlier color results, guiding clients through consultations, and mapping out color across an extended stretch of time. Davines hair care and styling products can be purchased through an official online store that ships orders.
Plans each cut around how hair behaves between salon visits and favors low-tox products and gentle color application, with a consultation before every color service.
Light-filled and plant-accented, designed to feel calm.
